If the engine seems OK but you have little or no service history for it, would it be worth having the engine rebuilt or just fix things as they break?

Yeah I know...

You reckon a full service (oil/air/fuel) filters, oil, spark plugs, leads, cam belt and rollers, and fan belt, and see how it goes?

ud be wise to find just a low milage one with fsh, in my opinion, and just make sure u hear it runnin b4 u buy it........... ur looking at a very rough guess for a part rebuild around 500 but im sure someone will correct me. The only other reason why i wouldnt have a re build is u dont no what actual work there gonna do and may charge u for things that dont need doing
